Summertime is all about leisure, and nothing says "take a break" quite like the original Mini Moke. The machine was penned to be a military service vehicle, but since no armed force wanted to take the risk of being laughed off the field of battle, the little utility vehicle never saw service. That didn't stop civilians from falling head over heels for them. And today, the Moke is a cult icon synonymous with frolicking to the beach. Now, Moke International is building new examples. The cars feature updated drivelines and brake systems but remain otherwise faithful to the old design. It's a face only a mother could love, but that's half the fun.

Of course, you don't need to live at the beach to take full advantage of the Moke International. I imagine they're just as much fun for a quick bop up to the mountains. Once you get there, you'll need a place to sleep. For that, you'll need a Nubé Hammock Shelter. String it up between a few trees and you'll sleep soundly swinging in the air. The hammock is really more like a suspended tent, complete with weather and insect protection. Most important, you don't have to worry about dealing with a pesky rock or twig digging into your spine.
